Is love enough?

Question

Would you be willing to sacrifice an amazing career opportunity in order to stay in the same city as your partner and avoid a long distance relationship?

Answer 1

if she loves you as well, she should understand that this would be an amazing oppurtunity for you and that you can still see each other on occassion. it's tough, but do what you think is right.

Answer 2

I guess the question is whether or not your partner can move to be with you - so that you can take up the career opportunity and avoid the long distance relationship. This problem is not an easy thing to deal with and many people these days face it. Long distance relationships are not a good idea, so something's got to give if you want to stay together. Either you give up your job opportunity, or your partner moves. Sometimes it's easier if you face those basic facts because at least things become simpler.

Answer 3

That really depends on how big of an opportunity it was and how deep my love for my partner was. Because if I'm the only one really serious about the relationship and he isn't putting forth any active part in it himself, I would totally pack up and take the new career. But if he is a loving and dependable caring type of guy I'm sure we could work out some arrangement of him moving where the new job is over time. I've always been told if something is trully worth having there is always a way to achieve it and so much more, be it for yourself or others in your life.

Answer 4

Long distance relationships suck. If you can avoid that you should. Money isn't everything in life. Why would you want to put your relationship with your partner in jeopardy for some job? I know from experience that long distance is very hard to do and only works if you are 100% committed to your partner and you must work work work at it to keep the love alive. if i were you i would stay in the same city.

Answer 5

I speak from experience, Love is NOT always enough. Me and my ex broke up even though we love each other a lot. He is going to school fulltime and working fulltime and there isn't enough time in the day to spend with each other.

If you are willing to make the sacrifice and make it work aware of the consequences go for it. But don't do it if you think you will regret it later on, it will ruin the relationship and someone will end up resenting the other person.

Answer 6

I kind of in the same boat. I have the opportunity to go to another state to a excellent school in the field I'm studying, my fiance wants me to stay. I've found that you have to find out what makes you happier, your career or your partner, go with your gut feeling.

Answer 7

Yes. Although i did not sacrifice my career, i sacrificed my education. All i can say is god works in mysterious ways, and i still got my education after i threw everything just to be with him. So.. try to look on the bright side. If she's worth that much to you that you can't live without her, why not? Things just might turn out better.

Answer 8

for me, i don;t believe in long distance relationships. I have seldom heard about long distance relationships working out. I would most likely follow my partner if the need arises. I can work anywhere or rather I can rather not work!

Answer 9

That's a very hard question... I guess I'll probably go with what my gut tells me to. I mean I know what my "heart" would say and I know what my "brain" will say so I would just do the gut feeling instead.

Answer 10

If your partner really loves you he/she would understand your dreams and career goals and will encourage you to go.
